I've learned that smart and hungry product people are drawn to hard and big problems. Fortunately we have both. We are working on a problem area that touches every company, creates friction every day, and has been underserved by technology for years. It's why I think this is one of the most interesting places to be a product person right now.

The potential for impact

Every company over a few hundred people has a procurement problem. Slow approvals, fragmented supplier data, missed renewals, no visibility over spend. It's painful at the operational level and expensive at the business level. And yet, for years, the category has been neglected by real product innovation.

That's changing fast. Previously seen as a cost control mechanism, procurement is transforming into a lever to minimize commercial risk and keep businesses competitive and efficient. AI is accelerating that shift. New regulations are making supplier risk management critical. CFOs, COOs, and CPOs are paying attention in ways they simply weren't before.

That’s not to say this is easy. We're also being pushed forward every day by well-funded competitors, by increasingly discerning buyers, and by customers who expect a lot because it's their job to know what good looks like. Procurement professionals are, by definition, experts at evaluating options. That keeps the bar high, and it keeps the work interesting.

We’re building a complex product

Omnea isn't a point solution. It's a platform that sits at the centre of how businesses run — which means complex user journeys, multiple stakeholders, and very different levels of influence across finance, legal, security, IT, and operations.

Threading the needle between enterprise-grade complexity and a product that's actually intuitive to use is one of the hardest things in B2B software. You can't oversimplify, because the workflows are genuinely intricate. But you can't hide behind complexity either, because users won't adopt something that feels like hard work.

Getting that balance right requires deep customer understanding and at Omnea, you have direct access to foster it. Product managers here are encouraged to constantly be in contact with customers and users. We're not filtering everything through account teams or waiting for research cycles. You build the relationships yourself, and you become the most knowledgeable person at the company for your domain. That's a different kind of ownership.

The environment makes you better

The calibre of people here is consistently high across every function — and that matters when you want to develop fast as a product person. You get better by being around people who challenge your thinking, raise your standards, and bring something you don't have.

The culture is low-ego and high-accountability. Anyone can challenge anyone, and ideas are judged on merit rather than seniority. We optimize for action and outcomes over internal politics meaning as a PM, you're empowered to move quickly and build the right things. Leadership shares things most companies wouldn't: pitch decks, deal losses, how we're thinking about the business. It makes you feel like a real part of the journey, not just an employee.

And every week, someone on the team is bringing new ways of working with AI tooling to the group. The pace of learning here is rapid.

Commercial thinking is part of the job

Product isn't separate from the commercial reality of the business. You're expected to build things that create genuine value for buyers, delight users, and contribute to Omnea’s revenue. That means understanding the market, understanding the competition, and understanding what actually moves deals forward.

That kind of commercial exposure accelerates your growth as a product leader. You're not just thinking about users in isolation — you're thinking about how the product creates and captures value, and how it positions Omnea to win in a competitive and fast-moving market.

If you want to build product that matters at scale, in a market that's genuinely having its moment, surrounded by people who will make you better, please get in touch.
